Newly discovered Quipu, a superstructure in which galaxies group together in clusters and clusters of clusters, is the ...

The Quipu superstructure is enormous, spanning 1.4 billion light years – and it could violate one of our fundamental ...

Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) were first theorized to exist in the late 1980s. In 2005, the first discoveries were confirmed.

Scientists have created the first-ever 3D maps of star-forming molecular clouds near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, ...

The quasar that powers this jet formed within the first 1.2 billion years of the universe's existence, when it was only 9% of ...

Astronomers have characterized the largest-ever early-Universe radio jet. Historically, such large radio jets have remained elusive in the distant Universe. With these observations, astronomers have ...

Using the Gemini North telescope, astronomers have detected the largest black hole jet ever seen in the early universe. It's twice as long as the Milky Way.

From decades of astronomical observations, scientists know that most galaxies contain massive black holes at their centers.

The research team said these rings likely formed when a smaller galaxy shot through the heart of the Bullseye galaxy roughly ...

A small blue dwarf galaxy passed through the massive Bullseye galaxy. This impact created nine rings of new stars.

After a blue dwarf galaxy shot through it like an arrow, the large Bullseye now has nine rings—six more than any other galaxy ...
